Into the Eye of the Storm: Assessing the Evidence on Science and Engineering Education, Quality, and Workforce Demand(Research Report)Author(s):B. Lindsay Lowell, Harold Salzman
Recent policy reports claim the United States is falling behind other nations in science and math education and graduating insufficient numbers of scientists and engineers.

U.S. student performance rankings are comparable to other leading nations and colleges graduate far more scientists and engineers than are hired each year. Instead, the evidence suggests targeted education improvements are needed for the lowest performers and demand-side factors may be insufficient to attract qualified college graduates.

As a measure of its size and modernization efforts, research and development in China has displaced that in Japan, and is on a rapid pace that could surpass that in the US within five years.
